7.6.3. Single release mode/singulation (ZPA)
Loads are normally transported from upstream to downstream zones in single
release mode. A load that reaches the photo sensor of the final zone causes the
motor in the final zone to continue running in order to transfer the load to the next
conveyor or the next position.
In single release mode, each zone waits until the next is free before it starts up.
This mode ensures that at least one zone length is free between the transported
loads. If the first load has to be stopped and the following loads accumulate,
these are stopped in their respective zones as soon as their front edge reaches
the photo sensor of the zone. Figure 25 shows a typical example of the single
release.
